Re mileage in 525i; Subject Identification

MPG is normal.

Jim - I too have a '92 525i, also just purchased, also with circa 50,000 miles
on it. Bought it in San Francisco and drove it across country. Day after day of
steady driving on the interstates at about 70 to 80 mph (using cruise control)
gave me about 28 mpg. Once I got home to Washington, D.C., strictly in-town,
stop light to stop light in moderate traffic gives me about 18mpg. As soon as I
add some beltway driving (60mph) to that, mileage eases over into the low 20mpg
range. This BTW, is all taken from the OBC. YMMV :->

Subject Change: I really enjoy this digest but, like everyone, I have just so
much time. I would like to focus on those postings of interest and skip the
others w/o having to scroll through the entire posting. This is a plea for
posters to pause a moment and be specific when composing your titles - it'll
save us all time and effort. TIA and...
